When we speak of the lessons in the bible, and concentrate on the lessons taught by Jesus the Christ and the stories told by the prophets, They are all there to show guidance for the people who would seek it . All of these lessons take effort by the seeker, you have to do the interior work. Once you are schooled in the basics, God sends you lessons that you must learn to continue on the path. A few know this by instinct but some think they are correct in their opinions and are more vested in there own EGO rather than the lessons being revealed. To experience the truth of God you must be open to truth not to being right. After Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead he asked: " why are you so amazed these things and more you will do", even back then people doubted there own God given Power. They would rather follow some one else than there own small voice. So today we have millions of people following and empowering a few. God will guide you if you let him. You are writhing your own testament and you are responsible to You. God is your guide and will always be there and you know what God's guidance feels like.

None of us know our end really, or what hand will guide us there. A King may move a man, a father may claim a son. That man can also move himself. And only then does that man truly begin his own game.
Remember that howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.

You are not what you were born, but what you have it in yourself to be

I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [points to head] and here [points to heart]

Mediocrity is a form of madness, a dream embraced by the masses because it makes just getting by an acceptable -- sometimes applauded -- social art form. What is excellent requires extra effort. To agree to sleep our way through life is to lose everything, because it rules out the possibility of our soul's awakening.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; that is your oath.
